County Judge

The Honorable Wes Suiter - County Judge

Welcome to Angelina County, the “Land of the Little Angel.” When our forefathers named our county after that long ago Indian girl, it gave us the distinction of being the only county in the great state of Texas to bear the name of a woman! The hospitality that Angelina offered to the Spanish and French explorers is still very much a part of the community spirit of our county today. So we extend a friendly “Texas howdy” and invite you to enjoy the beautiful pine forests and recreational lakes in our area of Texas. As the representative of the people of Angelina County, my office is always available for assistance and help.

Just as the Hasinai Indian girl named Angelina extended a "hand of friendship and welcome" to Spanish explorers in 1690, we welcome you to Angelina County, located in the heart of the East Texas pineywoods.
